Chapter 431 First Court
Prime Minister Wen listened quietly to the emperor's words.
Only after the emperor finished speaking did he kneel down solemnly and perform a great salute.
"Your Majesty is a wise ruler throughout history!"
"Having the Emperor is a blessing for Dayong! It is also a blessing for all the people!"
The emperor waved his hand, "Get up quickly! You're already an old man, yet you keep kneeling and saying such disgusting things. You want to say it, but I don't want to hear it! Your son, you should also hurry up and gain experience, otherwise you won't be left without someone to assist you when you're old!"
"I understand! I will do my best to raise my son well!"
The king and his minister looked at each other and suddenly laughed.
Eunuch Wang was guarding outside and did not hear the previous conversation clearly, but he heard the last laughter.
Just after the morning court session, he heard people talking about Prime Minister Wen losing the emperor's favor.
Now it seems that there are too many people on the line!
No matter who loses the emperor's heart, Prime Minister Wen will never lose it!
...
Wen Mansion.
Although Marshal Wen no longer attends court, he will not miss any information that he should know.
After hearing what happened in the morning court, Marshal Wen was extremely shocked and unknowingly came to Yu Youning's yard.
Yu Youning was writing at the table.
Hearing footsteps, he looked up.
"Grandfather! What's wrong with you?"
"No!" Marshal Wen shook his head. "I'm just taking a walk. You continue to be busy, I'll just take a look!"
"oh!"
Yu Youning did not ask any further questions, but lowered his head and started writing seriously again.
Marshal Wen slowly walked to Yu Youning's side and lowered his head to see what Yu Youning was writing.
I saw that what Yu Youning was writing was exactly what he had talked about with Chu Huaixu yesterday.
However, Yu Youning's writing is more detailed, and each point is listed clearly.
What human and material resources are needed, when to start and when to end, what to learn every day, how to assess, how to practice, etc...
This is turning ideas into plans.
Even the most stupid person would know what to do after seeing these plans.
Such an amazing thing was actually written by his granddaughter!
Marshal Wen felt a surge of pride in his heart, and he subconsciously straightened his back.
"Youning is really amazing!" Marshal Wen praised sincerely.
Yu Youning put down the brush in his hand and looked at Marshal Wen curiously, "Grandfather, if there is something wrong, you'd better tell me quickly! Otherwise, I won't be able to work peacefully!"
"All right!"
Marshal Wen felt a little embarrassed.
"Then I'll tell you! I heard that during the morning court session, Prime Minister Wen proposed allowing women to take the imperial examinations. The ministers opposed it, but the emperor didn't express his stance. Do you know anything about this?"
Yu Youning shook his head, "I don't know!"
How could someone tell her such an important thing alone!
Looking at the calm expression on Yu Youning's face, Marshal Wen deeply believed that Yu Youning was telling the truth.
"That......."
Marshal Wen hesitated for a moment, then asked the question in his mind, "What do you think of this proposal?"
"That's great!" Yu Youning answered without hesitation. "What's wrong with that? Do women lack something compared to men? Why can men take the imperial examinations and gain fame, but women can't?"
Listening to Yu Youning's answer, Marshal Wen had only one thought in his mind: he is old!
He is really old!
I can’t keep up with the ideas of these young people!
Yu Youning felt proud to be able to become an official.
But I never thought about whether other women could also become officials.
Should women be allowed to hold official positions?
But now, listening to Yu Youning's question, he also thought about this question in his heart.
Maybe...it seems like there's really nothing impossible!
Marshal Wen nodded. "You're right! There's nothing wrong with that! You can continue with your work! Grandfather will be leaving first!"
Looking at Marshal Wen's departing back, Yu Youning tilted his head.
But soon, Yu Youning was immersed in his own affairs again.
She still has a lot to write and a lot to do.
As for the doubts and confusion in my grandfather's heart, he is so smart, he will definitely be able to figure it out on his own!
If he really can't figure it out, she'll explain it to him when she's not busy!
Yu Youning thought so in his heart and buried his head in writing again.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Early this morning.
It's still dark outside.
Before we knew it, it was already late autumn.
When I got up at this hour, not only was the sky still pitch black, but there was also a lot of fog.
Yu Youning washed her face with cold water, which made her completely sober.
Unlike Yu Youning who had just woken up, Yu Tingwan was already dressed.
At this time, she was bringing her maid to help Yu Youning comb her hair, put on her official hat, and wear her official uniform.
This official uniform was delivered the previous afternoon.
At that time, Yu Youning simply tried it on and found it fit well.
But when I put it on today, it felt completely different from when I tried it on yesterday.
Yu Youning suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, there was only one thing that was a bit strange.
"Am I not from the Imperial Hospital? Do people from the Imperial Hospital also have to attend court?"
Yu Tingwan also asked this question.
At this moment, the voice of Marshal Wen was heard outside.
"Normally speaking, people from the Imperial Hospital don't have to attend court.
But now, isn’t the situation different?”
"Why is it different, Grandfather?"
"Your position is newly created, and your responsibilities are different from those of other imperial physicians. You must attend court. Otherwise, who would trust you with such a big matter?"
Yu Youning thought about it and accepted this explanation.
For her, it doesn’t really matter whether she attends court or not.
Even if she is not allowed to go, she will not envy others, nor will she be unwilling.
Even if she were to go, she wouldn't feel proud.
She just wants to do her own thing.
After a while, Yu Tingwan stopped what he was doing and took a step back.
Yu Tingwan stared at Yu Youning carefully.
Although it was pitch black outside, the house was brightly lit, illuminating Yu Youning clearly.
Yu Youning, in his official uniform, gives off a completely different impression than he usually does.
Yu Tingwan never thought that she would meet Yu Youning like this!
"Mother!"
Yu Youning turned around.
"Does it look good?"
Yu Tingwan blinked and finally suppressed the bitter tears.
"Beautiful! My Youning is the most beautiful!"
Marshal Wen and Wen Shiyan were waiting outside.
Hearing their conversation, I became more and more impatient.
"Is it ready? Hurry up and let us see it!"
The door creaked open.
Marshal Wen and Wen Shiyan hurried into the house.
When they saw Yu Youning standing there in official robes, they were both stunned.
He looks so good in his official uniform!
Youning should wear official uniform!
Such thoughts popped up in both of their minds at the same time, and they were so excited that they couldn't speak.
Yu Tingwan was calmer.
Checking the time, Yu Tingwan smiled and said, "It's getting late, Youning, let's get going! We can't be late for such an important event as attending court!"
These words woke up the shocked Marshal Wen and Wen Shiyan.
Marshal Wen had attended court before, and he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes! Youning, hurry up and leave! Don't delay!"
Originally, all the ministers would keep an eye on Yu Youning today.
If you go too late, it will be easier for you to be caught.
Several people sent Yu Youning to the door and watched Yu Youning get on the carriage with their own eyes.
Wen Shiyan sat in the driver's seat and waved to Yu Tingwan and Old Marshal Wen, "Father, Tingwan, you two should go back and rest. I'll take Youning to the palace!"
Marshal Wen originally wanted to deliver it himself.
But in the end, he couldn't win over Wen Shiyan.
At this moment, all he could do was watch Wen Shiyan drive away in the carriage.
Yu Youning sat in the carriage, but he didn't seem nervous at all.
She leaned against the carriage, sat upright, and closed her eyes again.
It's not that I don't want to sleep on my stomach.
It’s just that sleeping on your stomach can easily cause wrinkles in your clothes.
It won’t be a good look when I go to court later!
Yu Youning was sleeping soundly when she heard Wen Shiyan's voice outside.
"Youning, we're here!"
Yu Youning immediately opened his eyes, "I know!"
When he lifted the curtain and walked out, Yu Youning saw many officials.
All the officials gave him complicated looks.
Some people didn't want to say hello to Yu Youning and left in a hurry.
Some people wanted to greet Yu Youning, but they didn't know what to say, so they walked away hesitantly.
Until...Xiao Muyu came over!
Xiao Muyu, who was also wearing an official robe, walked up to Yu Youning.
The two looked at each other and laughed after a moment.
It's obvious that the two of them are already very familiar with each other.
But now looking at each other, I feel so strange.
Finally, Wen Shiyan said, "Stop staring at each other! It's getting late! Go in early!"
"Dad, let's go! You sit in the carriage and wait for me! It's too cold outside!"
"I know!"
Wen Shiyan stood beside the carriage, watching Yu Youning and Xiao Muyu enter the palace together, feeling a mixture of emotions in his heart.
She looked like a little girl yesterday.
Today I can actually stand in the court!
...
This was Yu Youning's first time attending the morning court.
Although I have been to the palace many times, this is my first time in this hall.
Everything I see seems very novel.
Most of the people in the hall have arrived.
It was still early, and many people were standing together, talking in twos and threes.
When they saw Yu Youning and Xiao Muyu coming, no one said anything, and no one told them where to stand.
At this moment, Marquis Chengyi walked in from outside.
"Youning, I'll take you two to your location."
Hearing what Marquis Chengyi said, Yu Youning smiled brightly at him, "Thank you, Marquis!"
"You're welcome! It's just a piece of cake! If you hadn't saved me, I'd still be beating the wooden fish and chanting Buddha's name!"
In one sentence, some people's faces were burning with anger!
Marquis Chengyi was not the only one saved by Yu Youning!
